What should I do if children have pharyngitis and cough?

It is already deep winter. Although the winter solstice has passed, winter has just begun for our friends in the north. The temperature outside is really dropping day by day, and it is so cold that it is unbearable. In such weather, many people will catch a cold, which will lead to other throat diseases, such as pharyngitis in some children. So, how should children with pharyngitis and cough be treated?

What to do if children have pharyngitis and cough

1. Treatment is the main method, and nursing is the auxiliary method. Pharyngitis is a common and frequent disease in babies. Whether it is acute pharyngitis or chronic pharyngitis, parents should focus on treatment and use nursing as a supplement, so that the baby can get rid of the disease as soon as possible.

2. Do proper exercise to enhance resistance - let your baby drink more water, eat more lung-moisturizing foods such as pears, drink less beverages, and eat less irritating foods. Ensure that the air in the baby's environment is fresh. If the baby is in an air-conditioned room, open the window regularly to ventilate the room.

The dangers of pharyngitis in children

1. Hoarseness or even permanent voice change. Many parents ignore their baby's sore throat, thinking that sore throat is just a symptom of a cold and that the cold can be cured. However, they do not realize that once the treatment of pediatric pharyngitis is neglected, it is likely to cause the baby's hoarseness or even permanent voice change.

2. There are many complications. Pediatric pharyngitis may seem harmless, but in fact, if it is not treated in time, it can easily cause inflammation of adjacent organs. The baby is prone to rhinitis and otitis media, which will make the situation worse and form a vicious circle. Since pediatric pharyngitis is accompanied by symptoms such as coughing, it can easily cause respiratory diseases if not cured in time.

Especially when you have a cold, coughing is the most common, but if it is not treated in time, it may turn into pharyngitis. Pharyngitis may be chronic or acute. Acute pharyngitis must be treated well, and the effect will be immediate. However, chronic pharyngitis must be treated slowly, especially paying more attention to children's diet and sleep.
